Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: AutoScreen at 100% against Car Play Widgets's 0%. AutoScreen also leads on chart position (#41 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). Car Play Widgets's advantage is rating (3.8 vs 3.0). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. AutoScreen sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Car Play Widgets sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Car Play Widgets holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 22 and 37 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of AutoScreen's written reviews are positive against 0% of Car Play Widgets's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
